i had a scapholunate ligament rupture, mr naqui operated on my wrist while i was awake, local nerve block on my arm, i was very weary of this , as i thought i would be out cold for the procedure , but the whole team who took care of me were very calming.
in fact i had a lovely chat with a nurse while being operated on, i am well on the way to getting back to normal mobility, big thanks to all your team

I cannot recommend this doctor enough. I have been a patient of his for several years due to a long term wrist condition. I had been seen previously by two different doctors at other hospitals who were not able to diagnose my wrist condition but Mr Naqui did! He explains any findings or treatment clearly and in a way that makes sense to people like myself who have no medical knowledge. He has a lovely calm manner that always puts me at ease and is a genuinely nice man. He has a great rapport with other members of his team including students who learn so much from him. He has also treated both my mother and daughter in the past and he has given them excellent care too.

Very clear and informative on diagnosis and the treatment available,gave info and details to look at procedure being done. Diagnosis was perfect,treatment carried out.check up appointment flexible and actions and treatment prevented any further operation.exellent from start to finish very impressed and would happily visit mr naqui again

Mr Naqui has been invaluable to us over the course of last season. He understands the demands and time restraints placed on players and medical staff within a professional sports club.
There have been a number of cases when we have been able to call upon Mr Naqui's expertise at short notice, and his interventions have been second to none, no matter the complexity of the injury.
I always leave Mr Naqui's consultations with a thorough understanding of a player's injury and often some new information for my own development. Our players have also commented that they leave with an excellent understanding of their options and we have had very successful post-operative results that have allowed players to continue to perform to a very high standard.
